Hi Robert, i see no information about the platforms here, could you show
all the people where are the links to download the  software to be
connected tomorrow morning?

Hola robert, no veo información sobre las plataformas aquí, podrías
mostrar a todos donde están los links para bajar el software necesario
para conectarse mañana por la mañana?

I am downloading the software now, but it's 38602 Kb and that takes time
(i have adsl connection here but with telephone that will take a lot
more). And then i have to install it, and i am not sure if it runs on
every  gnu linux distribution (says it runs red hat but i am not using
that).  

estoy bajando ahora el software, pero son 38602 kb, y esto toma su
tiempo. (tengo adsl aquí, pero por teléfono eso puede llevar mas
tiempo).  Además, tengo que instalarlo y no estoy segura si corre sobre
todas las distribuciones de gnu linux (dice que corre sobre red hat,
pero no uso esa).
